 Damn that was quick - thanks!

 > A space-separated summary of recent BW events in chronological order.

 Please specify newest-to-oldest or oldest-to-newest.

 > Each event is represented by a comma-separated tuple of "MS,R,W", where
 MS is the number of milliseconds elapsed since the previous entry

 That seems like an odd return value. I was thinking something like 'up to
 300 R,W tuples where each represents a second worth of data'. No big whoop
 though. If this is what tor has handy then controllers can convert it into
 what they need.

 > Entries where R==W==0 are omitted.

 Is that ok? An entry of...

 '532,143,498 390,601,4331'

 ... says between 390-532 ms ago we wrote 143 bytes and wrote 498. This is
 different from...

 '532,143,498 4189,0,0 390,601,4331'

 ... where that happened 4579-5111 ms ago.
